Episode Summary

Do you ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels in your business? Perhaps you’re constantly “maxed out,” but you’re just not growing like you feel like you should.

In today’s episode of the Make Space for More podcast, Melissa Swink discusses the concept of the invisible workload that many business owners face. She explores how the mental load you’re carrying, including all the little details that are constantly running through your head, can hinder your daily productivity and long-term growth, and offers practical strategies to alleviate it.

By understanding the signs of an invisible workload and implementing effective delegation, automation, and communication boundaries, you CAN create a more balanced and fulfilling work life!

Key Highlights:

• Your invisible workload can impact your energy and clarity.
• Keeping track of details in your head adds to your mental load.
• Being the primary problem solver on your team can limit your growth potential.
